Mom's 75th Birthday...

I made this card for my mom's 75th birthday.  Last year at this time she had cancer.  She is now in remission, thank God.  As we encounter each illness, and continue to grow older, it makes me appreciate every day more.  I am so thankful for my mom.  It seems each year I love her more.

CTD207, Large Flowers...

This is the second card I have made for the color throw down challenge.  I don't know that I love either one of them.  I think I might be missing a tad bit of my mojo.  I had a knee arthroscopy last Friday, and I don't feel 100% myself yet.  Also, I will admit that I have difficulties with lighter/pastel type colors.  Anyway, I did have fun cutting out my larger flower a few times today.  That always seems calming.  Thanks for looking and any comments.  :>)

Color Throw Down Challenge #207

This card is for this week's throw down challenge.  The colors are melon mambo, barely banana, green galore, and peach parfait.  I had my mind on doing a more simple card this week.  I'm not sure I like how it turned out, so think I would like to give it another shot.

CTD206, FLLC, Sweet Peas...

This card was made for the Color Throw Down Challenge - #206.  You can find it here.

The colors this week are pink, coral, celery, and turquoise.  I watercolored Flourishes Sweet peas with pink, coral, and celery.  I sponged the turquoise in the corner and also used a corner punch t accentuate that color.  The middle panel is embossed and it was stamped with the sweet pea image in celery.  I used one of the new ribbon threader from SU to add my pink ribbon.  It's been a while since I've water colored, and I enjoyed it.  Thanks for looking!!

Color Throw Down 204, Poppy Music

 

This card was made for the color throw down challenge - #204.  The colors were vanilla, pumpkin, poppy, and gray.  I think the colors make a nice combo.

MFP, A Heinrich Co., Tutorial Challenge #9, Tent Topper

My friend Pam is a designer for Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co., and it was her turn to do a tutorial challenge.  It was a tent topper.  I have never made one, but she encouraged me to do so.  I'm not the biggest fan of trying new stuff, but I'm usually glad that I did, after I'm done.  Thanks for looking!!  :>)

CAS Tree, Wednesday Challenge for MFP, a Heinrich Co.

This card is for the challenge over at Mark's Finest, a Heinrich Co.  It is for the Wednesday challenge to make a CAS card with a sentiment on it.  The subject matter this week was to make a tree.  I used the willow tree of theirs.
